Don't stress. When you go for your group interview, they ask you to take two referee's numbers with you. Then, after the group interview, they call your referees. They call the ones whose number you gave them AT THE GROUP INTERVIEW.... so if you have changed your mind about what referees you want coles myer to ring, just make sure you have the ones you want when you go to the group interview, because those are the ones they will ring.

So don't stress...

SOOOO

yesterday I was happily enjoying lunch at uni when I get a call from home telling me to call my contact thingy...

I call her and she says "would you like a job at Myer City??" of course I'm like "hell yes! OMG *dies*"... but THEN she says "3 days a week starting in September" and im like "NOOOO" cos uni is still on then... and I dont wanna work during exams... so I had to say "no, sorry uni has to come first, ill be available from mid-November onwards" and she says "ok we'll call you back around then"

i dont know whether to be happy, angry, sad or hungry

you should call them back and say that while you were overseas they called you and you want to know what they called about.

I went to the 2nd interview at Kmart Chatswood this morning, and few hrs later they called back and tell me to go pick up an information pack in a few days. does that mean I got the job? or there are more stages to go?

you go to the group interview, and you either pass that or you don't. After that you have an individual interview with one of the managers from a store if they want you. However, after the group interview stage, you still might not get a job if they have too many applicants for the one store etc.

cos i had my group interview start of july, next day i got the on hold letter... hmmm.. if you look back through this thread i'm pretty sure there's an example of the on hold letter. or maybe it's in the other coles myer thread. Anyway, they say they'll be in touch in the next few weeks if there's a position for you. It depends a lot on your store availability.. if you're available more places you've got more chance of getting in.

sorry :(
but i guess it's better to find out now than if you didn't get it...
if i don't get the coles one, i'll apply somewhere else. Simple. Heaps of companies need Christmas recruits. Just go hand out your resume.
